Organizations that were involved: All of our conosrtium members have participated in these surveys. Our main parnter continues to be West-Ed.

The Challenge

As a consortium, each member felt they knew their students individually, but collectively we were not sure we meeting regional needs and proactively growing our programs and services.

The Solution

We began a long term relationship with WestEd as a consortium. We created entrance and exit surveys that allowed us to survey all students throughout our consortium with consistent surveys while also allowing each member to add personalized questions to support program review and data.

Outcomes

With these surveys we have been able to evaluate each year, common trends, student needs, program review and overall patterns of growth and student success.

The Data

The data that WestEd compiles each year for us collectively and individually has shown strong progress and continued areas of need. With this data we have been able to support progress, new program development and eliminate areas that are not being utilized or valued by our students we serve. We also have been able to use our survey data to guide our annual and three year work plans.
